So in a repeat of the July 8 scenario, officials were again working to evacuate Scouts and staff from the ranch program.

This time, 157 people were being rescued, according to a Walsenburg resident who contacted The Pueblo Chieftain.

At about 11 p.m., the Pikes Peak Red Cross tweeted that the agency was opening an evacuation center for 157 Boy Scouts at the Walsenburg Community Center.

Messages left for Scout and Huerfano County Office of Emergency Management officials were not immediately returned Thursday night.

At the incident earlier this month, officials said the flooded Bear Creek swelled into the ranch. Scouts were camping above the creek. No one was injured, however, and officials said the evacuation went systematically as the Scouts plan for such situations.

This is the third evacuation of the ranch program in 13 months.

When the East Peak Fire ignited near the ranch on June 19, 2013, a group of 170 Boy Scouts noticed the smoke and later the flames and an evacuation methodically went into motion.
